The story
For eighteen consecutive years, Insalata’s has been recognized with the Michelin Bib Gourmand award—a testament to the consistent quality and value that Chef Heidi Krahling brings to her Mediterranean cooking. The restaurant, located on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in San Anselmo, has become a fixture for locals and visitors alike, offering approachable yet refined dishes that highlight the bright, herbaceous flavors of the Mediterranean.
Chef Heidi Krahling is the driving force behind Insalata’s, and her partnership with the community extends beyond the dining room. The restaurant collaborates with ExtraFood, providing meals to vulnerable members of the community. This sense of generosity mirrors the warmth of the food itself—fresh, seasonal, and rooted in the culinary traditions of the Mediterranean. From brunch to dinner, the menus change to reflect what’s best, with options that range from light, vegetable-forward plates to heartier fare.
Insalata’s is more than a restaurant; it also operates a daily takeout deli case, perfect for a quick Mediterranean lunch or dinner at home. The space accommodates private dining and catering, making it a versatile choice for celebrations or business gatherings. The dining room is wheelchair accessible, and the overall vibe is welcoming without pretense. Whether you’re stopping in for a leisurely brunch or picking up a meal to go, the consistent quality that earned the Bib Gourmand year after year is evident in every bite.
